Leeds Rhinos coach Brian McDermott on replacing Paul Aiton - " There's a few on our radar and a few putting themselves on our radar. People would like to be a starting number 9 for Leeds Rhinos, so there's a fair few candidates putting their arm up"

Perfect replacement for Aiton then

Clarke would be a relavation feeding off all the offloads. he'd be a super signing for me

I think we retained Hodgsons registration when he signed with Canberra, or have "first refusal", if I remember the articles correctly.

Since Diskin, the hooking role at Leeds has become the equivalent of being the Defence Against The Dark Arts Professor in Harry Potter. No one seems to hang around for more than a season or two.

The way Hodgson has fitted in at Canberra this year i can't see him coming back in the near future, unless of course he gets 'home sick'.They are a team on the up and he seems to be one of the players they will build their team around for the next few years.

I agree, he would be a superb signing for us.

Is his average showing at Warrington due to him missing Cas / his heart not in it?. Would that be a risk for us too ?

Was Briscoe an encumbent international? Thought he'd lost his place to Charnley on that right wing?

Don't think you can retain the registration for a player if he isn't contracted to you, and we all know how "first refusal" clauses work out don't we Iestyn?

It seemed to work in court.

Didn't work in terms of getting him back in a Leeds shirt though, thankfully

If I'm at a loose end on a Sunday I make the trip to Odsal with a
Couple of bulls supporting mates and I wouldn't be disappointed if we gave there young hooker Adam o brien the 9
Shirt, looks like he has the right skill
Set to fit in well at Leeds

Having just signed Paul McShane and having Milner then I don't think they're in the market for a hooker.

Don't think Clarke is OoC is he ? Can't see Warrington selling him to us for cheap ,if at all.
